hi from Belgium !http://minelabowners.com/forum/showthread.php?32250-hi-from-Belgium-!&goto=newpost
Tue, 26 Sep 2017 17:33:58 GMThello, i'm yan, from Belgium, most exactly Mons... i have my e trac for one month , and i think this forum is terrible ! Here, the star is the XP deus. If you ask someone in a french or belgian forum: ''what do you think about the minelab etrac?'' the answer is always: '' nothing, it's heavy, and there are cables...go buy a deus ! '' i'm fed up with that, i like minelab and his bbs technology, and i'm sure that when i'll be capable to use it, my minelab will be most powerfull than the XP ! thanks to your tips and tricks! they will be welcome! See you soon on the forum ! Yan

*...Remember that every single piece of land in the UK has an owner and if you want to metal detect, then you need permission.

I’m about to take the plunge and take the CTX a bit deeper than minelab recommends 😬

And recommendations for underwater programs? I have only been using Mal s beach program up until now

I did think about going for a exsplorer 2 and I may still go down that route if I like it

The way I’m looking at it is I’ve had the CTX for a long time and if I wright it off it’s a good esscuse to buy the updated one

Thanks in advance for any help

Olly

I am in Kentucky [USA] and also plan on using it for relic hunting in Virginia. Looking forward to the information on this site to help in getting up and running the right way to use the GPX to its full capability.

The spring tides produced (with the 17 inch coil) my 4th Morgan dollar (1899-s), 2 Barber half dollars (both 1901-s), and my 3rd seated half dollar (a very worn 1857-s). I also got my 1st Civil War army eagle button out in the extreme low tide zone. Its condition was so good that when I dug it up, I was sure it was a modern button. But in the past, that location produced most of my oldest silver coins, dating from 1859 up to the 1870s, including an 1876 inscribed gold ring.Did some detecting at my favorite park. The knee-high wheat-like grass caused the 17 inch coil to float around 4 inches above the ground. The 1st target dug that day was a weak signal that turned out to be a 10k gold 1982 class ring. That made the entire day. After that, must have dug every pull tab from then on.

Above are the gold finds. The small amethyst part and the broken gold ring on the right were found near the upper-middle tide line a couple of meters apart on the same day. A couple of weeks later, found the larger amethyst part in the same area.Hoping to find the jewelry that was the source of the 14k amethyst parts (possibly Victorian era mourning jewelry), did a thorough search of the adjacent area in extreme low tide zone during the spring tides. Instead, found 3 silver halves and silver dollar.The broken signet ring was found in the rocky area. Unfortunately, old 9k and 10k jewelry becomes quite brittle in seawater over time. It broke while in my finds pouch.

Here are the coins before cleaning. The condition of the silver coins found at the beach are almost always determined by the location where they were found.Ultrasonic cleaning loosened up most of the ‘crusty’ corrosion layer on the 2 Barber half dollars and the Morgan dollar.

Above are photos of mixed finds.Civil War era Army Eagle button, 1917-s buffalo nickel, below the nickel is a jade-like figure with writing/symbols on both sides.A comparative photo of previously found naval eagle buttons, both found at my favorite park in the same area, but at different times. I believe they are Civil War era Marine Corps buttons (Scovill MF’G Co.?Waterbury).Two silver pendants.

Silver jewelry before cleaning.

Front and back of the buffalo nickel and big silver coins. Both 1901-s half dollars still have stubborn crusty corrosion stuck on parts of both coins. Some of the other finds are in the bottom photo.
